2.win8 metro application installation directory in

system installation disk /program files /windowsapps ( This folder is hidden, you need to close the hidden view), (C: Program FilesWindowsApps here), it is recommended to reserve a large space for the C drive

As shown in the figure:

As for people who don't know how to view hidden folders, it's actually quite simple. As you can see at a glance, you can understand

If you want to delete the files inside, you need to get the permissions of the system. I have a special tutorial on how to get the permissions, very detailed.

Since you want to modify the Windows settings, of course, you must start with the registry.

The programs in the Windows 8 app store are automatically installed into the C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps directory by default. You can modify the default installation path according to different user requirements. However, you need to obtain permission in advance when modifying the registry, so the steps are a bit more complicated, as follows:

1. Press “Windows logo key + R key & rdquo;, enter regedit, open the registry editor

2. Expand “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppx”

3. On Appx, click the right mouse button, select “TrustedInstaller”-“Advanced”

4. In the pop-up dialog box, select “Change”, another dialog box will pop up and click “Advanced”.

5. In the new pop-up dialog box, click “Find Now”-“Select the currently logged in user”-“OK”.

6. Pop up a new dialog and click “OK”.

7. After selecting the currently logged in user, click “edit”, a new dialog box will pop up, and the basic permissions will be set to “ Full Control & rdquo;.

8. After the above steps have been granted permission, you can modify the "PackageRoot". After double-clicking, modify it to the corresponding path.

So the APP installed afterwards will be installed in WinAPP.

However, the permissions of this new directory built by the user are inherited from the disk drive, and the original C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps has more permission restrictions. In contrast, the self-built folder has a relatively large permission. A lot of system account permissions are missing www.it165.net.

And whether the larger permissions will cause any security or usage problems, remains to be seen, if anyone will worry about whether there will be any special circumstances, perhaps you can compare the permissions of C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps Modify the permissions of this folder, add some system account permissions, and then limit the permissions of some accounts, try to be the same as C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps permissions, perhaps to comfort the fear of the soul

In addition: I can tell you an easy way. If your computer is equipped with a dual system, when you enter another system, you are going to play that folder. At this time, this folder is no different from the normal folder. Now, you don't need permission.
